Early Research Achievements (ERA) track is to provide researchers and practitioners with a forum for presenting promising ideas in early stages of research. Ideally, the ERA track seeks papers that challenge the status quo of program comprehension with new
research directions and provocative ideas. The ERA track is the perfect place for a paper that aims at setting the agenda for a new line of research and a series of future papers! The track targets the same topics of interest as those of the technical research
paper track. As opposed to regular research papers, submissions to the ERA track typically describe research in progress and do not require a solid evaluation.</span></div>

Comprehension (ICPC) will be hosting a REplications and NEgative results (RENE) track in 2021. The role of both replication and negative results studies is crucial in program comprehension and software engineering research. Replications can either strengthen
the results of the original study by increasing external validity with additional data or provide new insights into the variables that may impact the results. Negative results contribute to scientific knowledge because by narrowing down the hypothesis space
and by enabling critical insights and full understanding of existing approaches.</span></p>

of papers addressing ‘classic’ program comprehension research questions, whose results were related to specific environments (e.g., programming language, technologies, styles, etc.) and their validity might have changed over time. Replications might lead to
discovering new insights and effectively compare such new findings with respect to those achieved in the past. We strongly believe that this could foster discussion on how program comprehension has evolved over time, other than providing a mechanism to re-investigate
aspects of program comprehension that could have not been studied for a long while. The papers to be replicated have been recommended by ICPC community members and their authors kindly agree to provide support to prospective authors as well as replication
material.</span></p>
